Dmitriy, Initially I thought that the topic is about order of test METHODS execution. You said about "fileSystem". I suppose file system order have no meaning for methods but rather for test classes. Do other possible values of the mentioned parameter affect order of methods execution?
For convenience I remind a way how to define method order I am aware of and wrote before [1].
